Tamashii Macross F DX RVF-25 Luca Type: OFFICIAL IMAGES

Tamashii has provided an updated look at the upcoming Macross Frontier DX 1/60 scale RVF-25 Luca Type, set for release in spring. We now have a glimpse at what to expect with regards to markings & paint applications.

This particular variant of the VF-25 Messiah was developed for electronic warfare, equipped with removable super armor & a movable randome unit. The random can open up as it does in the show. Also included in this set are swappable hands, combat knife, gun attachement piece, & a display stand. This set will retail for 17,000 yen.

Bandai is releasing Luca's RVF-25 next year in their DX 1/60 Macross Frontier line. Luca Angeoloni is the heir to LAI, the creators of the VF-25 Messiah. The RVF-25 is a armed reconnaissance variant of the VF-25, and is usually accompanied by three ghost drones. An accessory set of the ghost drone and other parts will be sold next year as an exclusive to the Tamashii website. As of yet it is unknown whether that set will eventually hit mass market. The RVF-25 comes with the randome to mount on top for fighter/gerwalk modes, and on the back in battroid mode. A stand is included for use in all three modes.

Hey Shin, Are the 1/60th scale the Part formers version of the planes, or the, for a lack of better word "trasformable" version?

The 1/60 versions are perfect transformation, no parts swapping/removal needed for transformation. The VF100s 1/100 scale line is the parts swapping/former line, the one where you need to swap and remove pieces to transform.

I've heard of the color differences, not enough for me to panic over. Ultimately I'd love to get all 4 armored DX's, maybe I will eventually. This one reminds me of the ELINT seeker and that alone is reason for me to want this thing.
